Take the Next Step

Life is a journey, not a destination, consisting of many tiny steps to be taken; although, many times negotiating ups, downs, twists and turns along the way. Every finish line is a series of tiny, tiny, tiny little steps that must be consistently taken; however, not everyone is willing and obedient to press through difficulties necessary for taking the next step. If you can be faithful in small things, you can be faithful in greater things. Jesus said. “If any one comes after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow Me.” (Luke 9:23). Each person’s cross varies in that each person is chosen to bear certain struggles according God’s plan. Commitment to following Christ is a continual practice of faith, obedience and daily taking one step at a time, one day at a time, in pursuit of divine purpose.  On the way to the next place in destiny, it is very important to have great expectations for realizing fulfillment, remaining confident in knowing that your steps are Divinely ordered.  It is your set time of favor; it is your turn to hear the Lord calling- take the next step; fight the good fight of faith and patiently endure life’s challenges.   In light of so many uncertain and challenging situations, it is critical to follow the Lord’s steps as He daily leads along the right path. Resolve to do things God’s way, in every situation, in every circumstance; at the end of the day, all things will work out favorably. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and everything else will be added to you. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free; So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men] then you are really and unquestionably free.  (Matt. 6:33; John 8: 32, 36) The kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer in search of fine and precious pearls, who on finding a single pearl of great price, went and sold all he had and bought it. (Matt. 13: 45-46)
